| [00:00.83] |
I'm not a rapper; I'm a singer with a flow |
| [00:02.66] |
I've got a habit of spitting |
| [00:03.82] |
Quicker lyrics you know |
| [00:04.73] |
You found me ripping the writtens |
| [00:05.80] |
Out of the pages they sit in |
| [00:06.80] |
And never once I get bitten |
| [00:07.73] |
Because plagiarism is hidden |
| [00:08.86] |
Which I would sit on the rhythm |
| [00:09.87] |
Prisoner with a vision |
| [00:11.09] |
Signs of LA, but didn't listen to any criticism |
| [00:13.27] |
Thought you knew but you didn't |
| [00:14.47] |
So perk your ears up and listen |
| [00:15.52] |
Studio with a system |
| [00:16.62] |
And you could say that I'm driven |
| [00:17.63] |
And now it's on to the next saga |
| [00:19.10] |
We drink the best lager |
| [00:20.01] |
I never tried to win you over |
| [00:21.71] |
Like your stepfather |
| [00:22.42] |
I do my own thing now, and get respect after |
| [00:24.49] |
And I'm avoiding ******* like it was Get Carter |
| [00:26.62] |
For four years I never had a place to stay |
| [00:28.49] |
But it's safe to say that it kept me grounded like a paperweight |
| [00:30.32] |
At 16 years old I had moved out of my home |
| [00:31.81] |
I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and |
| [00:34.44] |
I choked |
| [00:34.95] |
And we've been sleeping at the subway station |
| [00:36.51] |
Sleeping with a Movie star and adding to the population |
| [00:38.49] |
Not my imagination, I don't want to relax |
| [00:40.62] |
But would it hurt your reputation |
| [00:41.92] |
If I put it on wax? |
| [00:42.61] |
So take it back now... |
| [00:43.46] |
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love |
| [00:49.35] |
C'mon and take it back for us |
| [00:53.48] |
Don't you fade into the back love |
| [00:57.58] |
Noooo |
| [01:00.03] |
Take it back with the rhythm and blues |
| [01:01.41] |
And my back pack I'll be singing the news, |
| [01:02.83] |
Trying to act like Jack Black when I'm rocking the school |
| [01:04.78] |
I'll make a beat with my feet by just singing a loop, |
| [01:06.68] |
Bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes, |
| [01:08.88] |
And keeping the truth through the vocal booth, |
| [01:10.86] |
Stars burst out on the scene like an opal fruit, |
| [01:12.71] |
They try and take aim like beckham when he goes to shoot, |
| [01:14.74] |
But then again that's what they're supposed to do, |
| [01:16.39] |
And I'm supposed to be calm, |
| [01:17.63] |
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm, whispering everything that Happens is from now on, |
| [01:19.76] |
I'll be willing to start again at the end of the song, |
| [01:23.15] |
Still their claiming that I handled it wrong, |
| [01:24.88] |
But then I never had an enemy, except for NME, |
| [01:26.97] |
But I'll be selling twice as many copies as the magazines will ever be, |
| [01:29.32] |
With only spectacles ahead of me and festival fees, |
| [01:31.63] |
To help me with a Dalmatian, no pedigree, |
| [01:34.58] |
Singing for the masses, |
| [01:35.05] |
Rubber dinghy rapids, |
| [01:36.03] |
Keep this rapping a habit |
| [01:37.08] |
And keep on passioning magic, |
| [01:38.11] |
I'm battling with respect, |
| [01:39.05] |
I don't know if I'll have it, |
| [01:40.02] |
This songs from the heart, |
| [01:40.96] |
Grabbing the plaque |
| [01:41.88] |
I'll take it back now |
| [01:42.61] |
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love |
| [01:47.70] |
C'mon and take it back for us |
| [01:51.55] |
Don't you fade into the back love |
| [01:55.63] |
Noooo |
| [01:58.12] |
Take it back now |
| [01:59.11] |
I don't ever want to be perfect, |
| [02:00.36] |
Cause I'm a singer that you |
| [02:01.55] |
Never want to see *******rtless |
| [02:02.48] |
I accept the fact that someone has to win the worst-dressed, |
| [02:04.62] |
Taking my first steps into the scene, |
| [02:05.92] |
Giving me focus |
| [02:06.95] |
Putting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton |
| [02:08.94] |
Considering a name change, |
| [02:09.82] |
Thinking it was hopeless |
| [02:10.99] |
Rhyming over recordings |
| [02:12.00] |
Avoiding tradition |
| [02:12.96] |
Cause every day some lyrics |
| [02:13.97] |
And a melody can be written |
| [02:14.89] |
Now absence can make your heart ache |
| [02:16.53] |
But drinking absinthe can change your mind-state, vividly, |
| [02:17.93] |
I need to let my liver be |
| [02:19.68] |
And I say it again, |
| [02:20.64] |
Living life on the edge, |
| [02:21.72] |
With a closed hand full of friends |
| [02:22.73] |
Is good advice from a man |
| [02:23.67] |
Who took his life on the road with me |
| [02:24.92] |
And I hope to see him blowing up globally |
| [02:26.90] |
Cause that's how it's supposed to be |
| [02:28.12] |
Screaming out vocally |
| [02:28.98] |
It might seem totally impossible |
| [02:30.44] |
Achieving life's dreams |
| [02:31.37] |
But, but I just write schemes |
| [02:32.73] |
I'm never having a stylist, giving me tight jeans |
| [02:34.36] |
Madison ******* Garden is where I might be |
| [02:36.43] |
But more likely, |
| [02:37.00] |
You'll find me in the back |
| [02:38.48] |
Room of a dive bar with my mates |
| [02:39.48] |
Having a pint with McDaid |
| [02:40.55] |
Discussing records we made |
| [02:41.54] |
And every single second knowing |
| [02:42.58] |
That we'll never betray |
| [02:43.39] |
The way we were raised |
| [02:44.38] |
Remembering our background |
| [02:45.29] |
Sat down |
| [02:46.00] |
That's how we plan it out; |
| [02:47.06] |
It's time to take it back now |
| [02:47.96] |
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love |
| [02:54.00] |
C'mon and take it back for us |
| [02:57.60] |
Don't you fade into the back love |
| [03:01.80] |
Noooo |
| [03:04.27] |
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love |
| [03:10.60] |
C'mon and take it back for us |
| [03:14.42] |
Don't you fade into the back love |
| [03:18.34] |
Noooo |
| [03:24.62] |
|
